Description

In a row of volcanoes that is literally called the avenue of volcanoes in Ecuador, Chimborazo (6,263m) stands tallest. Everything from the height, shape and sheer size of the Chimborazo volcano is impressive. And when you reach the permanently snow covered summit, you will have the chance to look up and feel like you can touch the sun!

This 2 day trip will begin in the city of Machachi. From there we will make our way to the incredible avenue of volcanoes. Once we reach this most ancient of avenues, we will walk through it. During this trek, you will get to marvel at 27 different volcanoes. Every single one of these peaks has its own look and personality. You will also get to appreciate the abundance of vegetation, wildlife and landscape.

Once we reach the Chimborazo volcano, we will begin the thrilling climb to its summit. After the first day's climb, we will spend the night at the Chimborazo High Camp (5,300m). The following day, we will wake up early and make our way to the summit. The trek to the top will be challenging. There will be tough terrain, ice and snow, but I will help guide you safely, while also providing you with all of the equipment you will need. Plus, the glory of the view from the summit will make it all worth it.

Please get in touch with me if you want to venture to the peak of the breathtaking Chimborazo Volcano. It will be a journey you will never forget.

Mountain Guide

UIAGM/IFMGA-ASEGUIM Mountain Guide from Ecuador.

I am a mountain guide, but also a passionate traveler, climber in rock and ice, and photographer. I spend my free time and holidays exploring new destinations, discovering new mountains and cultures.

I have more than 17 years of experience climbing mountains and volcanoes not only in Ecuador, but also in other South American countries such as Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Argentina, and in the Alps in Austria, Italy, Switzerland and Germany. I also summited KhanTengri peak in the Himalayas, and Mt. McKinley in Alaska. This experiences prepared me to lead expeditions in challenging routes all around the world.

I studied 6 years of Tourism in the University, and followed ASEGUIM courses to become a mountain guide. I’ve also been evaluated by ENSA, and completed first aid courses in the Ecuadorian Red Cross.

I like guiding people from all around the world, and help them discover and enjoy the mountains, while reaching their objectives. I speak Spanish, English, German, Italian, and a bit of Russian.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
